Atlas of Heaven and Man

#387 - Ritual Pattern

Xu Xianwen's perception was quite sharp. Seeing that he still couldn't overcome Chen Chuan in this way, he immediately changed his tactics, retreated to a slightly farther distance, and continuously hurled various broken objects from the old temple at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was not careless, wielding his saber to block the objects flying towards him one by one.

However, looking at the casually thrown objects, they contained heavy and variable force, which showed that Xu Xianwen also had a throwing technique.

He became more cautious because he knew that these forces would not be without purpose; they should only be a prelude, with the real killing move hidden behind.

Sure enough, after a moment, he heard a muffled sound, and a gust of wind pressure assaulted him. He saw a huge, glaring statue of a god gradually enlarge before his eyes, as Xu Xianwen pushed over the broken seated statue from the shrine.

This statue was five or six meters tall, with six arms stretched outwards, each hand holding a weapon, almost blocking a large part of his vision. He didn't dodge, but instead raised his saber with both hands and suddenly slashed forward!

A round of saber light bloomed in the old temple, instantly splitting the huge statue in half. He deliberately used force to make the statue crumble inch by inch and roll backward.

Just as the fragments were flying outwards, he suddenly sensed something, raised his saber and deflected it, blocking the staff-spear that was stabbing from the side. However, the force on it felt strange, as if it had been thrown.

Immediately, his brow twitched, and he suddenly felt that Xu Xianwen had actually closed in on him. The latter stretched out one hand to push away the blade, and the other hand stabbed towards him.

Chen Chuan, however, didn't panic at all. He raised his hand and brought it around, suddenly drawing the short saber from his waist and slashing at him several times in succession. Because simple stabs could be defended, these slashes used a dragging force.

Surprisingly, Xu Xianwen didn't dodge at all, allowing the blade to cut at his arms and head. The hand reaching forward moved towards his face regardless of everything.

He calmly tilted his head, feeling a sharp energy brush past his cheek. At this time, he lost the space to slash, so he immediately abandoned the saber, clenched his fingers, and punched the person's head and face.

With a bang, Xu Xianwen was sent flying, and the wall of the old temple was immediately smashed out with a huge gap. Because it was gradually approaching dawn, the outside light poured in, and the inside of the old temple suddenly became much brighter.

While Chen Chuan bent down to pick up the short saber, he felt that he could no longer hear any movement on the Boundary Marker, obviously it had been destroyed. It seemed that Xu Xianwen's actions just now were for this purpose.

However, he didn't care about this matter. This was not something he needed to protect in the first place, so he didn't consider it at all when dodging just now.

Moreover, the Bureau must have already known their location and the direction they were going. Even without these, they could be found by following the traces of their arrival.

His right hand was holding a套索, with the other end牵着the staff-spear. Now, with just one pull, he retrieved the staff-spear. He had naturally prepared to throw this weapon earlier.

However, at this moment, he didn't choose to fight Chen Chuan again. He took a deep look at the latter, suddenly turned around and jumped down the mountain.

Chen Chuan followed immediately, and then he saw an open space in front of him, and further ahead was a clear lake surrounded by reeds. The white reed flowers swayed in the wind coming over the lake, and on one side of the lake, the morning sun was about to emerge, dyeing the lake surface with a layer of golden-red color.

He watched Xu Xianwen's figure quickly disappear on the hillside, and also jumped down, chasing after him rapidly.

On the other side of the hill, an off-road vehicle was driving rapidly in the forest. The man sitting in the back seat was constantly urging the driver in front: "Faster, faster!"

He was Hu Ying, a reporter for 快步新闻热点.

He had just learned through internal sources that 墨贴山 had been attacked by armed thugs, and one of those involved in resisting was the person who had beaten Wei Wusheng to death outside the arena.

Knowing this, he immediately realized this was an opportunity!

Because this area was shielded and deliberately concealed, it was difficult for the outside world to know the first-hand news.

They happened to be nearby, so they immediately asked the driver to drive around the route where the two were suspected of chasing, although this might be dangerous. However, if they could successfully report this matter, they could obtain unprecedented rewards.

"We are driving to the two people on the road, along the combat route of the two Third Limits. Oh my god, what is that..."

On the bumpy and vibrating car body, he saw a building on a distant hill collapse suddenly, and he couldn't help but get excited. Look, it must be them!

Everyone, can you imagine?

"The places these two people have passed are a mess, walls have been pushed down, vehicles have been overturned, and trees have been broken. It's unbelievable, they are simply like two Iron Horse armored trucks produced by Feng Hai Company!"

After smoothly doing an advertisement for the sponsor, he naturally cut into his own emotions, "I feel like I'm shaking all over. I'm chasing in the direction they are in, but I don't know if doing so will anger them. Maybe the next moment they will suddenly jump over my car and take my life..."

Saying that, he pushed the driver, "Buddy, don't be afraid, I'm with you!"

The driver was driving nervously, and he shivered when he was pushed, almost driving the car into a pit. He yelled, "Can you stop touching me!" But this only brought a burst of laughter.

With his reports, more and more people noticed him, and the number of viewers behind the Boundary Marker was also rapidly climbing. Especially after learning that one of the participants in this incident was Chen Chuan, it aroused more people's interest. The audience who watched the arena last time quickly joined in after learning about this.

The Bureau also noticed this situation. Team Guan glanced at it and asked, "Have our people arrived?"

"They are on their way there!"

Team Guan considered it and decisively ordered, "Allocate some resources to that reporter, let him see clearly, and first understand the situation there."

Although Chen Chuan started later, this time, due to the open terrain and no obstacles to his vision, he gradually increased his speed and quickly shortened the distance between the two. Then he raised his hand and threw several stones.

Xu Xianwen noticed the sound of the wind behind him and immediately shifted to avoid it, but in doing so, his speed inevitably decreased. He quickly noticed the movement of the pursuit behind him, shouted, held the spear in one hand, and stabbed back!

Chen Chuan tilted his head and dodged, pushing the saber straight in. Xu Xianwen shook his strength, held the spear horizontally in front, and blocked the saber. With a force collision, the surrounding grass fell down in a large area.

Taking advantage of the unabated momentum, Chen Chuan pressed the saber up, pushing Xu Xianwen back several steps. Then, he continuously and quickly slashed with great force.

Xu Xianwen suffered a dark loss in the previous force collision. At this moment, he had to retreat while parrying, stepping out one deep pit after another, which made it difficult for him to escape quickly.

Through the previous exchanges, Chen Chuan had almost become familiar with Xu Xianwen's style of attack and roughly understood the latter's breathing rhythm.

Although this person's force change was very impressive, after understanding what kind of force he practiced, he knew what kind of method to use to target it.

He didn't need to think about anything temporarily. Several teachers had already provided him with mature suggestions. However, knowing was one thing, and being able to use it in actual combat was another.

He took a breath. Through the battle just now, the results of his cultivation during these days had been revealed. The异化组织 throughout his body was in an active and excited state, which was the best state.

After several consecutive slashes, he noticed a gap in the opponent's breathing transition, so he shouted loudly, and the 异化组织 all over his body rotated in layers, gathering the force on the saber, and then slashed down!

With a "crack" sound, the staff-sword was directly cut off by him. The saber momentum did not stop, and it fell along the center line, cutting a deep and long opening on Xu Xianwen's head, face, chest, and abdomen.

However, when the front end of the blade cut in, he felt that the muscles there were full of toughness and did not penetrate too deeply.

Xu Xianwen's face was ferocious at this moment. He flicked his hand and threw two broken spear shafts towards Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan turned the saber and deflected them.

Xu Xianwen then leaped backward, opening a distance from him. Blood kept flowing down his body, dripping into the soil under his feet, but in just the blink of an eye, those wounds quickly closed and healed under the nourishment of 精血.

At this time, he showed Chen Chuan a grim smile, tore off his already shattered coat, revealing his beautifully muscled, solid and full upper body. It could be seen that there were ritual tattoos on his chest and back.

This was the Embedded Body religious ceremony of the Secret Snake Sect, which could not only enhance his vitality but also bear a large number of drugs, even if he was severely injured, he could recover quickly.

However, the real effect was more than that.

He watched Chen Chuan step forward with his saber again, took a deep breath. At the same time, the ritual纹路 on his body disappeared, as if submerged into the body, and what followed was that almost blue scales-like异化组织 emerged on his cheeks and body surface, covering his exposed body.

At this time, he crossed his arms directly to block the incoming long saber, and the place of contact actually made a metallic collision sound.
